12-Year-Old Tamir Rice Murdered by Police and Then Charged with ‘Inducing Panic’?

Tamir Rice was gunned down by 26-year-old Officer Timothy Loehmann. Loehmann fired on Rice within two seconds of exiting his vehicle as Tamir played in the park.

Tamir was carrying a toy airsoft gun. Emergency dispatchers had been told by the person that reported the incident that the gun was suspected to be a toy. Despite that, the officers expressed that they believed Rice was armed and that they responded accordingly.
